The Christmas decor tour continues with a look at my recently-updated home office as well as our foyer.
It turned out so beautifully and is definitely a “vibe” as the kids say. This room is so very soothing and relaxing to work in.
Last Christmas I hung a couple wreaths and put up a small tree in my office, but this year I wanted to do a little bit more. I spend a lot of time in this room, so I wanted to make it festive!
This small faux tree was in a boring pot that I didn’t love, so I decided to pull it out of the planter it came in and plopped it into a basket I had:
The base for the tree was much smaller, so I use plastic shopping bags or packing paper to fill it and raise the tree up.

Last year these wreaths got mini makeovers with some pine cone picks and this camel colored velvet ribbon:
I don’t have it in me to take all of the books and decor off the shelves for Christmas (nor do I want to!), so I added in a few figurines here and there, and only replaced a few items with Christmas decor:
This Santa boot planter is the cutest! I filled it with Norfolk pine stems and a few berries:
Instead of completely switching all of your decor for the holidays, you can add a few touches like faux florals or ornaments like in my brass bowl by the wreath:
I stuffed that bowl full of grocery bags as well, so I only needed a few ornaments to make it look full.
This gold bamboo mirror is one of my favorite Facebook marketplace finds!:
I swear it’s clean — I can’t seem to get that haziness off of it. If you have any suggestions I’d love to hear!
I had to squish it into this corner and move some furniture, but it was totally worth it to look at this beauty as I work everyday!
The tree is decorated with gold and brown ornaments, most with a nature theme. The little felt birds (from Hobby Lobby) clip on to the branches:
I had plenty of extra ribbon, so I tied them onto some branches. I’ll leave those on when we take it apart after the season.
Onto the foyer!
But earlier this year, I replaced that table with a vintage dresser we had in a different room.
This set up with a dresser in the foyer has made me so happy! I LOVE this piece here — it feels so collected and gives this space much needed character:
The bonus is that I have a small space to decorate instead of two long ones. 😂
I kept the Santa theme going with the woven sleigh (filled with greenery and bells) and a carved Santa figurine I found on FB marketplace years back:
This train diffuser comes with a remote and timer. You can set it to constantly puff, or release slower, steady rings from the smokestack.
Not only is it SUPER cute, but it works really well and the water lasts a really long time. I think we’ll find a spot to keep this out year-round.
This year I decorated the door frame into our little vestibule off the foyer:
I love walking up from the basement and seeing this garland framing the view:
My latest addition to our entryway was just a few days ago. I found this sweet “Let it snow” art on FB for $12 and fell. in. love with it.
The art and colors are so nostalgic to me — it looks like something my Mom would have displayed back in the 90’s:
It’s a little small for this spot, but I don’t care! It makes me smile every time I walk by. 🙂
These two rooms are the first our guests see when they come in the front door, so I wanted them to feel festive but not overwhelming. I hope you enjoyed the tour!
